Bruichladdich 15 Year Old Special Reserve Cream Label
Secure an extraordinary, liquid time capsule from the shores of Loch Indaal. Crafted by the original owners at Bruichladdich Distillery before the 1994 closure, this 15-year-old single malt represents a legendary 1980s or early 1990s vintage distillery bottling. Collectors highly prize this specific “Cream Label” edition with its matching golden presentation box and mapped Islay detail. Consequently, secondary market stocks continue to evaporate worldwide.
Distilled using traditional Victorian equipment, this expression showcases the signature, unpeated house style of the historic distillery. Furthermore, the liquid matured exclusively in premium American oak barrels inside stone-walled coastal warehouses. The production team subsequently bottled the spirit at 40% ABV in a classic 70cl format. This presentation highlights a period before the famous 2001 modern revival. It remains an essential asset for serious spirits investors.
Inventory on this discontinued classic grows rarer each year. Bring home this magnificent Speyside alternative to experience authentic, old-school Hebridean craftsmanship today.

Please inspect our detailed fill-level photographs closely before purchasing. Because our bottles, corks, and seals vary in age, you must judge the liquid’s condition at your own discretion. Consequently, we do not refund or exchange items due to damaged corks.
Since we source many of our bottles from private collections, they show normal wear and tear. However, we take great care to provide clear photos of each unique lot. Therefore, please check these images carefully before buying to ensure the condition satisfies you.
